Independent Work
Children spend a part of each day doing independent work. Much of the learning is hands on: children experiment, learning math and science with objects and experiments.
Children teach each other
Multi-age classrooms
Children of multiple ages share a class together. Teachers have children in their class for several years, and form strong relationships with them.
Open and spacious classroom spaces
Large classrooms offer many spaces for exploration.
Child-sized accessibility
The Montessori approach pioneered the idea of child-sized furniture. Everything in a Montessori classroom is designed so children can access it.
